SPP 2520:  Infrastructure area - Research Vessels

• Subject Area: Geosciences ; Biology ; Chemistry ; Physics
• Term: since 2025
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 551436379

The newly established infrastructure priority program (SPP) 'Research Vessels' allows for a uniform application procedure for the German research vessel fleet and the initial analysis of samples and data. Scientific activities within the framework of SPP will address emerging questions and future challenges related to vessel-based research along the following five research themes: (1) Ocean in a changing climate, (2) Ocean interfaces and biogeochemical cycles, (3) Ocean-lithosphere dynamics, (4) Ocean-biosphere interactions, and (5) Ocean-based new technologies and innovation.
